Daniel Man Deer awoke suddenly, a faint chill rippling across his chest Someone was standing near the foot of the bed, or had been. The image seemed to recede when he opened his eyes, but the certainty of its presence hung in the air for several seconds. It had been a dream. It had been a stocky Indian with a massive chest dressed in stiff canvas pants and a strange, long jacket with narrow lapels and widely spaced buttons made of wood. He'd worn a faded scarf at his neck, and a top hat. It was a photograph, Daniel realized. It had to be. A studio photograph of an Indian made in the 1800s, probably one of several he'd seen while researching the Kumeyaay. But the face had been smiling, the dark eyes impish in the shadow of the incongruous hat. The face had

been a message of encouragement and pride, he felt. And humor.

"Dan, what is it?" Mary grumbled from beneath the down comforter, reaching for him.

"A dream. I think the bobcat is safe," he answered. "I think the ancestors are pleased and will help us now."

"Dan, tomorrow I want us to talk about taking a trip, okay? I've been thinking about a cruise. Let's talk about it over breakfast."

"A cruise? I don't think now is the time, Mary."

But she was already snoring softly.
